27 July 09 - Support the Parental Rights Amendment
If you haven't contacted your U.S. Representative or U.S. Senator, now is the time.
ParentalRights.org exists to protect children by empowering parents through the passage of the Parental Rights Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, and by defeating U.S. ratification of the U.N. Convention on the Rights of the Child.
THE VITAL CHILD-PARENT RELATIONSHIP
Parents play an irreplaceable role in the lives of their children. This vital relationship positively impacts a child's physical, mental, and emotional well-being. The right of parents to maintain a strong involvement in their children's lives has been continually upheld by Supreme Court doctrine. It is deeply valued by millions of American families.
